A
Thanks to the huge success of Harry Potter, many teenagers dream about living in an ancient castle (城堡). These dreams may include beautiful silk dresses, delicious food, servants and of course, magic. However, real life in an English castle was not easy. With thick stonewalls and high towers, castles were built for defence. So they were not good places to live in. In medieval times, castles must have been noisy and smelly places. Horses, cattle, chickens and sheep walked free, blacksmiths (铁匠) did ironwork, soldiers practised sword (剑) fights, and children of all ages played around them. Castles did not have central heating; the only heat came from the fireplace. Even in summer the castle was cool. People living in the castles had to use blankets to keep warm while at work.
Life during the Middle Ages began at sunrise. Servants lit the fire, swept the floor and cooked the morning meal. The mid-morning meal was the main meal of the day and often included three or four courses (一道菜). After dinner, everyone continued his or her work. The owner of the castle, the lord, sometimes took his guests hunting or shooting. His wife, the lady, spent much of the day watching the maids (女仆) work, as well as people working in the kitchen. She also kept an eye on the weavers and embroiderers who made clothes for the family. Supper was simple and eaten late, just before bedtime.
You may find some old magic books in a castle as Harry Potter once did. Read them before you go to bed, because when you fall asleep the magic of castle life may appear before your eyes.
21. For what purpose were the castles built in England?
A. To raise poultry (家禽) and livestock (家畜).
B. To provide a working place for blacksmiths.
C. To defend the city or country against enemies.
D. To provide a place for teenagers to learn magic.
22. Why were the ancient castles noisy?
A. Because soldiers practiced sword fights there.
B. Because blacksmiths did ironwork there.

A. wants teens to drop the dream of living in a castle

Usually two weeks before Christmas, buying presents is the most important for a lot of people in the UK. However, last year not so many people were leaving their homes to browse in the shops.

Seventy percent of Internet users, male and female, are now buying their Christmas gifts online.
In the past a lot of people were unwilling to shop online. Many were worried about the security of entering their card details on the Internet and the reliability of the Internet, but as shopping online has become more widespread, these worries have begun to disappear. 45% of Internet users still do have security worries but it hasn’t slowed down the ever-increasing numbers of online shoppers.
There are lots of special offers in the high street shops during Christmas because of the influence of the online shopping. They are concerned that not enough shoppers are coming through their doors. Most shops traditionally have sales after Christmas, but last year the bargains had come early in an attempt to attract consumers to spend.

This National Day holiday, you might be busy hanging out with your friends. But kids from Nanjing Jinling Middle School were busy trying to be "pregnant (怀孕的)".
The kids attached (绑) weights to themselves to look as if they were having a baby. They did everything, including going shopping, with the extra (额外的) weight for a whole day.
